  Glenworm is a small town in the north of Oregon, so small that most don't know it exists; that's why they never have visitors. All the townspeople care about is the yearly worm festival, and the small community they have grown used to. It's as normal as can be, the rampaging teens, stuck up mayor and passive residents make it a peaceful and very safe abode for the people who live there. So imagine the surprise of the town when late December, a moving van arrives, bringing along with it the mysterious Willows. 
  
  Furthermore they now occupy the York mansion, the first to do so as long as anyone in the town can remember. Gossip arises as the eager folks watch the oblivious twin sisters and their lonesome father blend into the traditional community. Who are they, and what has brought them here in the middle of the school year? 
  
  Sit back, relax and watch the story of the Willows unfold...
